lLIBRARY ENTERTAINMENT.
A Large Audience Witness the Pre-
sentation of the Excellent
Program.
A large number OF the friends and pa
irons Of the reading room and library
showed their appreciation Of the institu-
tion and encouragement for the efforts Of
the ladies under whose management the
exercises were carried to successful
completion by attending the entertain
ment at the rink ednesday night. About
eight o'clock the city band played several
lively selections while the audience was
assembling. The program, as will be
seen below, was Of just the right length
and diversity to be unusually attractive
and enjoyable. Several changes were
made from the exercises as published.
The evening was opened with a br1l-
liant piano duet by Mrs. r. J. White and
Mrs. b. p. Tilden, whose skillful knowl-
edge Of the instrument brought forth
notes Of harmonious melody that we're a
. delight to the cultivated ear. Cherry
Ripe very pretty and well rendered
;Auartette by Mrs. Glaspel, Mrs. Cloes
and Messrs. Judd and Hewitt next greet
I ed the attentive audience, at the conclu-
sion Of which Mrs. DR.. Vidal, Of Valley
City, again appeared before jamestown
audience. This lady who always main
stains the position Of q prime favorite with
jamestown people recited with admirable
4 taste the 8. Scientific Sermon Of a "Bos-
I town. transcend dentalist, who discoursed
with admirable gravity and profound
erudition on the truly delectable subject
OF Mother Hubbard and the lay Of the
bone. Mrs. Vidals rendition was appre-
ciated by the audience. and received an
encore ID response to which she recited
I: selection in the difficult Scotch dialect.
Mrs. Vidal appeared. also in the second
part OF the program in scene from Ham
let, whore her rare elocutiOnary powers
were again displayed.
The first change in the published pro-
gram was made in the next number.
Mrs. Hewit's solo was changed to willie
Boy. Come Home" As on previous Oc-
casions she charmed her audience with
her rich and flexible voice and the feeling
thrown into the number.
In addition to home talent several out
side artists had generously consented to
add to the evenings attractions, among
them Mr.. "A. w. Robert, of SpiritwOod, a
violin yirtuoso who favored his hearers
for the first time in jamestown. He APP
speared twice upon the program and on
both occasions the audience testified to
the pleasure Of his solos by long and fat
terinP, applause. Mr.. Robert is an artist
OF rare merit and whose touch and move
ment show long study and much talent.
"A vocal duet by Mrs Anton Klaus, Jr.,
and Mr.. G. i. Judd was 0iven. Both are
we'll known favorites in Jamestown's
musical circles and never did they appear
TO better advantage than last evening.
aOnly Thee was sung in manner which
fulfilled the expectations OF their many
friends.
BY another change IN the program, lit
tie Lizzie Lloyd, much to the delight Of
The audience, recited charming bit OF
verse. the excellent rendition Of which
brought her an encore to which she RESI-
bonded with 8 grace that secured even
another.
After brief intermission the program
was again resumed and Mrs. b. +. Iilden
favored the audience with another finely
executed piano solo, The Last Smile
by Wollenhaupt. BY request Mr.. g. A.
Eldredge gave his natural and ludicrous
presentation Of .sThe Debating Society"
the selection SO favorably received at
q similar entertainment last winter. Mr.
Eldridge received an encore to which he
responded.
I. when the Flowing Tide Comes in a
vocal solo, by Mrs. Grove, was sung IN
that lady's most excellent manner. James
town people never fail to testify their
appreciation OF this lady's efforts by an
encore, and last evening was no excep-
ton to the general rule. The program was
concluded by vocal duet by Mrs. Grove
and Mrs Glaspen, whose clear and har-
moniously blended notes closed tho con-
cert for the evening.
Mrs. E. j. White, who has taken an ac-
tive interest IN the welfare OF the reading
room, as we'll as Mrs. Glaspel! and the
other ladies', was the accompanlst at the
piano throughout the evening.
The amount netted the library fund
was not learned last evening, but what
ever it is will go towards diminishing the
debt of the institution.
